     Linda and John Jenkins: THRESHOLDS.  8-24 June 2018

Nature forms the basis of both Linda’s and John’s work, but their approach in style and medium is very different, resulting in a varied and evocative show.

Linda’s work explores her fascination with surfaces, textures and colours and the responses, both emotional and psychological, that these elements can provoke.  She uses collage, fabrics and stitch as well as lino and mono-printing, collagraph, drawing and painting, manipulating her materials to experiment and reveal in an intuitive way. In this process she is also exploring the connections between our exterior and interior worlds.

Inspiration is drawn from the land and seascapes of Australia, rock formations in Norway, beaches in Cornwall, and woods and lakes closer to home. Linda is aiming to evoke a memory of a place and time experienced, as well as opening the doors to new – as yet unexplored – vistas.

John’s photographic work is inspired by landscape and especially trees which he feels are imbued with both spiritual and visual qualities. Working intuitively when editing his photographs he is searching for structures, patterns and textures that reimagine the components of the landscape into new visual experiences.

He is also fascinated by the concept of symmetry which is found in so many forms of art and nature.  He endeavours to create work that has a meditative quality and allows the viewer the opportunity to discover hidden worlds. His artworks are constructed as photo collages as their composition is a result of a process of experimentation both with scale and the choice of paper to enhance the image.

All work in the exhibition is for sale.

Tamara Jovandic: BODY AND SOUL

Classically trained painter Tamara Jovandic presents her new solo exhibition of expressive figurative and recent abstract paintings entitled BODY AND SOUL at Highgate Gallery 6-19 July 2018.

Jovandic’s work is influenced by the war, which tore through her home Sarajevo, Bosnia, former Yugoslavia, making her a refugee in 1992.  Rich, deep colour and broad, tempestuous brush strokes sweep across the canvas, inspired by the Italian Baroque and Caravaggio’s colour palette and use of chiaroscuro.  Working quickly from live models directly onto canvas, she describes the process of painting both as “a spiritual ritual” and “a physical battle”.  Often autobiographical, her figurative works explore the female form, solitary eroticism, sacrifice and the isolation of a life in exile.

Her abstract works are freed from narrative and represent mute poems about trees and stone, inspired by Kenwood and Highgate Woods.  On close viewing life figures are reflected in these mysterious landscapes.

The exhibition will feature “Passion” a prizewinning artwork from the London Biennale 2017 selected from the work of 120 artists across 40 nations.

Jovandic was born in Sarajevo.  In 1991 she gained a BA Hons with Distinction in Fine Art from The Academy of Art in Sarajevo.  Since moving to the UK in 1992 Jovandic has exhibited at the Mall Gallery, Cork St, The Royal College of Art and has taken part in over thirty group shows in the UK, Ireland, France and the USA as well as five solo exhibitions.

Tamara Jovandic: BODY AND SOUL

Classically trained painter Tamara Jovandic presents her new solo exhibition of expressive figurative and recent abstract paintings entitled BODY AND SOUL at Highgate Gallery 6-19 July 2018.

Jovandic’s work is influenced by the war, which tore through her home Sarajevo, Bosnia, former Yugoslavia, making her a refugee in 1992.  Rich, deep colour and broad, tempestuous brush strokes sweep across the canvas, inspired by the Italian Baroque and Caravaggio’s colour palette and use of chiaroscuro.  Working quickly from live models directly onto canvas, she describes the process of painting both as “a spiritual ritual” and “a physical battle”.  Often autobiographical, her figurative works explore the female form, solitary eroticism, sacrifice and the isolation of a life in exile.

Her abstract works are freed from narrative and represent mute poems about trees and stone, inspired by Kenwood and Highgate Woods.  On close viewing life figures are reflected in these mysterious landscapes.

The exhibition will feature “Passion” a prizewinning artwork from the London Biennale 2017 selected from the work of 120 artists across 40 nations.

Jovandic was born in Sarajevo.  In 1991 she gained a BA Hons with Distinction in Fine Art from The Academy of Art in Sarajevo.  Since moving to the UK in 1992 Jovandic has exhibited at the Mall Gallery, Cork St, The Royal College of Art and has taken part in over thirty group shows in the UK, Ireland, France and the USA as well as five solo exhibitions.
